Join Dan Caplis Law and support Catholic Charities

Dan CaplisNow through December 31st, Dan Caplis Law will match all donations to Catholic Charities up to a total of $100,000. Together, we are an extended family, supporting neighbors and transforming lives.

“Denver would fall apart tomorrow without Catholic Charities.” — Dan Caplis

A stumble on the road doesn’t mean your journey is over. Catholic Charities is there when our Colorado neighbors reach a fork in the road between hopelessness and hope.

Struggling families find shelter at Samaritan House and women are supported through Marisol Services. Little ones receive high quality early education at our centers and veterans and seniors have access to safe independent living at Catholic Charities Housing. Individuals find support at St. Raphael Counseling and a blanket of behavioral health services wrap around all our Catholic Charities ministries. From the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains, north to Fort Collins and across the Denver metro area, the list of what Catholic Charities does and who we serve is extensive.

But it only works through our collective support. You can make a real difference by getting involved today.
